What's it about?

Patriotism has gotten a bad reputation in recent years as it has had to strike a fine balance between healthy patriotism and toxic nationalism. In simple terms, it denotes a love for and devotion to one's country, and its symbols include the national anthem and a flag. As a means of nationalistic identity, healthy patriotism establishes commonalities amongst disparate groups but in today's socio-political climate, patriotism is also used to divide and exclude minority groups. In this collection, you'll deep dive into the history of patriotism, examine the experiences that make you uniquely American, and how the American revolution came to be.
